Georgina Republicans Announce Unity Ticket Of Business Leaders, Providing A Sharp Contrast With Progressive Activists Running As Democrats
After Tuesday’s runoff election, the Republican nominee for Senate, Mike Collins, and the Republican Gubernatorial nominee, Rick Jackson, both mutually endorsed each other providing a strong unity ticket ahead of the general election in November.
Republican Rep. Mike Collins said, “Republicans are united in one mission: defeating Jon Ossoff and his partner in crime, Keisha Lance Bottoms. I look forward to working with Rick Jackson and Republicans up and down the ballot to deliver true conservative leadership in the Governor’s Mansion and the U.S. Senate for the people of Georgia this November!”
Jackson also rolled out endorsements from previous Republican Governors, including Gov. Sonny Perdue, Gov. Nathan Deal, and Gov. Brian Kemp.
Both Jackson and Collins bring extensive experience in the private sector, and plan to leverage that to benefit Georgians. Which is not something the Democrat ticket of progressive activists can bring to the table.
Incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff’s “career” is largely defined by help from his parents.
Had his political career bankrolled by his millionaire father.
Used a family inheritance to purchase control of his foreign film company.
Lived in a house purchased by his father while working as a congressional staffer.
Criticized the Paycheck Protection Program for "overwhelmingly" benefiting wealthy Americans while his father received a PPP loan of up to $1 million.
Accepted campaign donations from more than 70 billionaires despite claiming to oppose their influence in politics.
Former Kamala Harris and Joe Biden adviser, former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms record of incompetence is deeply out of touch with Georgia.
Bottoms gained national prominence in her public feud with Republican Governor Brian Kemp over her attempts to use government power to force Americans to use masks.
She oversaw an increase in violent crime and faced criticism for lackluster response to the George Floyd riots.
Finally, for much of her term, a significant part of Atlanta was trying to secede from the city because conditions had deteriorated so far.
